</div></div></blockquote></div><br>@Jaroslav: The idea is to have a way to communicate Fedora with the user and viceversa... If Fedora has another Important Bug like the "Update One" in Fedora 13<div>"Hermes" will tell the user inmediatly and it will say the user how to fix it. The idea is to have not only a notification system, but also a way to keep the user in touch with Fedora.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I think that if there's already a plasma widget for a RSS Feed Parser (Or a screenlet in case of gnome) we can start working from there... I'll also would like to offer the user a "search bar" in hermes</div>
<div>that uses fedora's database to give search results to the user, so when someone using fedora wants to know a "HowTo" instead of using Google, they'll have the option of "Fedora answering them"</div>
<div><br></div><div>@Garret: Many things are not the job of an operating system already... The idea is to transform Fedora in more that just software... Let's transform it into a intelligent enviroment concerned about it's users</div>
